Although veteran Bobbie Williams' sprained left ankle has improved and he was limited in practice today, Jah Reid played solidly for the most part as he replaced Williams for the final three quarters of a 55-20 rout of the Oakland Raiders last week.

There are some indications of a potentially expanded role for Reid going forward.

"I don't know what they're planning for this week," Reid said. "I'm just going to come out and work and see what the coaches decide."

Ravens coach John Harbaugh indicated that both linemen will be utilized against Pittsburgh.

"I must have done something OK," Reid said. "I must not have been terrible. That makes me happy."

Harbaugh noted that Reid could stand for improvement in his pass-blocking fundamentals.
